I walk sideways in the game world

Ren Xiaoyao and his companions stumbled and fled the ruins, their spine-chilling roars echoing behind them, as if a demon from the depths of hell was about to burst forth. They dared not look back, running at full speed, only pausing for breath when exhausted. Returning to the main city, they brought back not only the peerless divine weapon but also the dread of surviving a catastrophe and a fear of the unknown.

The appearance of the divine weapon caused a sensation throughout the city. Crowds of people poured into the streets, eager to see the legendary artifact. In the sunlight, the weapon shone brightly, as if heralding the dawn of victory. The people cheered with joy, the gloom that had shrouded their hearts vanished, replaced by a hopeful vision of the future.

Ren Xiaoyao knew full well that with the decisive battle imminent, he couldn't relax even for a moment. He infused the power of divine weapons into his troops' training. With the divine weapons' power, the ordinary soldiers' combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced. Every movement was imbued with power and speed, like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Looking at this well-trained and highly motivated elite force, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with confidence.

"Brother Xiaoyao, look!" Xia Lin hurried over from a distance and handed a list to Ren Xiaoyao, "This is..."

"Brother Xiaoyao, look!" Xia Lin's face was a bit tired, but she couldn't hide the excitement glittering in her eyes. She handed a list to Ren Xiaoyao, "This is a list of all the supplies needed for the decisive battle. I have already counted them all. It's enough to sustain our army for three months."

Ren Xiaoyao took the list and quickly scanned it. It meticulously recorded the quantities and storage locations of various supplies, including food, weapons, and medicine. Every item was neatly organized, clearly a result of Xia Lin's meticulous planning. He knew that Xia Lin must have been working tirelessly to ensure logistical supplies.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xia Lin." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were full of gratitude and tenderness. He knew that without Xia Lin's silent dedication behind the scenes, he would never be able to stand at the front line and command the battle with such peace of mind.

"This is what I should do." Xia Lin smiled slightly. "You should also pay attention to safety."

At this time, Elder Feng and Lord Ma also came together, with unconcealable joy on their faces.

"Young Master Ren, we've found a way to unleash the full power of this magical weapon!" Elder Feng said excitedly, stroking his beard. "The power of this magical weapon far exceeds our imagination. As long as it is used properly, it can definitely become the key to turning the tide of this battle!"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Ren Xiaoyao became interested.

Prince Ma took over the conversation, pulled out an old book from his bosom, opened a page, pointed to the pattern on it, and said, "According to ancient records, this magical weapon needs to be combined with a specific formation to unleash its full power. Elder Feng and I have been deducing all night and finally found a way to break it."

He pointed to a complex pattern on the pattern and explained, "Look, this pattern corresponds to the stars in the sky. On the day of the decisive battle, as long as you place the magic weapon at the center of the formation and draw on the power of the stars, you can unleash the ultimate power of the magic weapon!"

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the pattern, a surge of ambition welling up in his heart, as if victory was right before his eyes, calling him. He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said in a deep voice, "Alright! Let's do as you say! Without further ado, let's begin preparing..."

Before he could finish his words, a guard hurried in, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said anxiously, "Report! Princess Xu requests an audience!" Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly; Princess Xu's arrival was somewhat unexpected. He waved to the guard to invite Princess Xu in, but in his heart he secretly wondered what this royal princess had come for.

Soon, Princess Xu walked into the hall, surrounded by a group of maids. She was dressed in a lavender palace dress, looking particularly noble and elegant. Seeing Ren Xiaoyao, Princess Xu bowed slightly and said softly, "Brother Xiaoyao, long time no see."

Ren Xiaoyao quickly stood up and returned the greeting, smiling and saying, "Your Highness, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

"Brother Xiaoyao, there's no need to be so polite," Princess Xu gestured for the maid to present an exquisite brocade box. "I'm here this time to bring you some good news."

Ren Xiaoyao gestured to Xia Lin to take the brocade box. When she opened it, she saw that it was filled with crystal clear spirit stones and various rare elixirs, all of which were treasures for improving one's cultivation.

"This is..." Ren Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xu with some confusion.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you don't know," Princess Xu explained, "I informed Father of your impending decisive battle with the demons. Father was deeply impressed by your heroic deeds and ordered the allocation of military supplies and elite soldiers, which I sent to support you."

Ren Xiaoyao felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Princess Xu must have put in a lot of effort to win the support of the royal family. He bowed solemnly to Princess Xu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, and His Majesty, for your kindness. Ren Xiaoyao is deeply grateful!"

With the support of the royal family, Ren Xiaoyao's confidence was even stronger. He gathered Elder Feng, Lord Ma, Xia Lin and others and began to deploy the final decisive battle plan.

However, just as everything was ready and the army was about to march, a scout stumbled into the tent, covered in blood. He held a blood-stained letter high in his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Report... Report to the commander-in-chief, the enemy... The enemy has sent a letter of challenge..."

Ren Xiaoyao took the letter, unfolded it, and his expression suddenly grew solemn. In the letter, the demon leader arrogantly challenged him to a fight to the death in the Decisive Battle Valley. At the end of the letter, the demon clan's supreme seal—the "Demon Seal of Destruction"—was clearly stamped!

"The Devil Seal of Destruction..." Elder Feng's face changed drastically, and he muttered to himself, "Legend has it that this seal possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth, and only the Devil Lords of past generations can control it. Could it be..."

"It seems the demons are well prepared this time," said Lord Ma in a deep voice, "We must be careful in our response."

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became extremely tense. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ren Xiaoyao, awaiting his decision. Ren Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes flashing with a sharp, cold light. "Alright! Since the demons want a decisive battle, let's go and meet them!"

He stood up suddenly, picked up the sword on the table, and said in a firm tone: "Pass the order, the entire army is ready to march to the Decisive Battle Valley tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their voices deafening, echoing throughout the camp... Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across every person in the tent. "Everyone, the demons are coming with overwhelming force. This battle concerns the survival of humanity, and the fate of all of us!" He paused, his voice booming, "But we are not alone. Behind us are millions of people who believe in us! We are fearless!"

"Fearless!" Everyone was infected by Ren Xiaoyao's momentum and shouted in unison, their fighting spirit burning.

"Elder Feng," Ren Xiaoyao turned to Elder Feng, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "The terrain of Decisive Battle Valley is complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack. You are experienced and well-versed in battle tactics. This time, I'll trouble you to lead a team of elite troops to occupy the advantageous terrain and block the demon clan's vanguard!"

"I obey your command!" Elder Feng nodded solemnly, with a look of determination on his old face.

"Lord Horse," Ren Xiaoyao looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Your Qinggong is unrivaled in the world, and you are well-informed. This time, I would like to trouble you to lead a team of scouts to infiltrate behind enemy lines, investigate the demon clan's strengths and weaknesses, and pass on the information to us!"

"Leave it to me!" Lord Ma patted his chest and promised, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes.

Finally, Ren Xiaoyao turned his gaze to Xia Lin, his tone gentle but firm: "Xia Lin, you are thoughtful and thorough. I will leave the logistics supply to you. Make sure the soldiers are well fed and well clothed, and have no worries!"

Xia Lin nodded gently, her beautiful eyes filled with determination: "Don't worry, Xiaoyao, I promise to complete the task!"

After arranging everything, Ren Xiaoyao looked out of the tent. Night had already fallen, and a faint murderous aura emanated from the direction of the Decisive Battle Valley. He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on his sword, and a determined glint shone in his eyes.

The next morning, the sun rose, its golden rays casting a dazzling light across the vast plain. Ren Xiaoyao, clad in silver armor and mounted on a tall black steed, stood at the forefront of the column. Behind him was a vast, black army, their banners waving and a murderous aura rising.

"Let's go!" With Ren Xiaoyao's order, the army marched towards the Decisive Battle Valley in a mighty manner. Every soldier's face was filled with determination to die. They knew that this was a battle of life and death, but they were not afraid because they believed that victory would eventually belong to them!

When the army arrived at the outskirts of the Decisive Battle Valley, Elder Feng had already led the vanguard troops to occupy a favorable position and prepare for battle. Ren Xiaoyao dismounted, his eyes piercing the distance as he asked in a deep voice, "Lord Horse, what's going on with the demons?"

Prince Ma stepped forward, cupped his fists, and reported, "Commander-in-Chief, the demon army has assembled in the valley. There are approximately 100,000 of them, led by the Demon Lord himself. They are fully prepared, awaiting our entry..."
